General Information

We are a group of Egyptian and African journalists. We launched the Africa Voices website to present a different image of the African continent. We mainly work on four files: immigration, climate change and environment, women, rights and freedoms. We try to shed light on these issues that do not have enough space to express in the mainstream media. In our writing, we rely on the storytelling method, so that each writer from his country presents his personal experience that reflects the reality of the society in which he lives.
Through our project, we dream of being voices emerging from the continent, revealing their aspirations for a better reality and a clearer future, voices spoken by Africans who convey - through their self-narration - the reality of their societies and their transformations.

Mission and Objectives

Our project is to present neglected issues in the media on the African continent, especially climate change, the environment, human rights, and democracy. Our storytelling style helps present these issues in a way that creates interaction among readers. We know very well that readers love stories, especially since ordinary news about countries that may not interest them, may seem unimportant. Through these self-narrative stories formulated with a media style, we try to connect the reader to these issues, and make it as if he is living the same experience as our writer.
Our mission is to create a platform that aims to introduce these issues about the continent, through journalists who express the reality of their societies, through their personal writings.

Impact:
Africa Voices will have a number of positive impacts, including:
• Increasing the visibility of African voices
• Raising awareness of the challenges facing Africa
• Empowering Africans to speak out for their rights
• Promoting democracy and good governance

Main Projects / Activities

We worked on many important topics, such as the plight of farmers on the tense border line between Ethiopia and Sudan in February last year and before the Sudanese civil war. Through narrative narration, our writer dealt with the story of a farmer’s family on the tense unmarked border between Sudan and Ethiopia, with attacks by cattle rustling gangs and armed gangs.
Also, we worked on a topic about children whose legs were amputated in Mali as a result of mines placed by extremist groups. We worked on a topic about women in Africa, and we dealt with women in debt in Egypt and their imprisonment for their inability to pay the debt. A topic on the rape of lonely girls in Burundi, as well as a topic on murder due to love in Sudan.
Our work is about fishermen-turned-pirates in the Mediterranean off Tunisia, stealing the engines of refugee boats.
We worked on topics on climate migration from Ethiopia and Sudan.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Our project targets not only Egypt, but the African continent. The goal is to create a platform for independent journalists who are talented in writing in a narrative style to present their communities with their problems and complexities. Therefore, we are trying to raise awareness of the seriousness of issues such as migration and climate change, and their impact on local communities in Africa. In addition to the absent basic needs of women, as well as the suffering they experience.

For our project, we need technical, material and training support to complete our mission. We need to connect with other institutions in Africa to exchange experiences and share work. We need to collaborate with institutions working on the same files that are important to us. We also need special training institutions in writing narratives and dealing with topics such as migration, climate change, and the situation of women.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

To obtain technical, journalistic and financial support. Also linking our institution to other institutions working on the same topics, in order to exchange experiences and knowledge and perhaps share work.
Also get the necessary training for our site.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

I am confident that by engaging with the Africa Voices initiative and leveraging the extensive network of the Ana Lindh Foundation in Egypt and other African nations, we can collectively enact meaningful change. Here are several avenues through which we can collaborate:

Primarily, we can harness the Ana Lindh Foundation's network to identify proficient journalists across Egypt and other African countries who possess the capabilities to contribute to Africa Voices. Through meticulously designed workshops and training sessions, we will equip them with the requisite skills to proficiently convey African narratives while adhering to journalistic standards.

Once we have identified these journalists, collaborative efforts can be initiated to produce impactful content for Africa Voices. This collaboration may encompass the creation of various content formats such as long-form articles, concise videos, podcasts, infographics, and social media posts, all aimed at spotlighting the diverse voices and narratives of Africans, with a focus on the thematic areas outlined in the Africa Voices initiative.

Furthermore, we will leverage the Ana Lindh Foundation's established connections and resources to effectively promote the Africa Voices platform and ensure broad dissemination of its content. This may entail prominently featuring Africa Voices on the foundation's digital platforms, strategically disseminating content across social media channels, forging partnerships with relevant organizations or media entities, and facilitating access to app stores for enhanced accessibility.

In order to ensure that Africa Voices resonates with its intended audience, proactive engagement with diverse communities across Egypt and African countries will be prioritized. This could involve organizing tailored events, seminars, or interactive forums to raise awareness about the platform and encourage active participation from the target demographic.

Lastly, we will play an instrumental role in evaluating the impact of the Africa Voices initiative within the communities it serves. Through systematic collection of audience feedback, meticulous monitoring of engagement metrics, and comprehensive assessments, we will ascertain the initiative's effectiveness in achieving its overarching objectives.

By leveraging the vast network and resources of the Ana Lindh Foundation, we have a unique opportunity to significantly contribute to the success of Africa Voices, amplifying African voices, fostering awareness on critical issues, empowering individuals, and advancing principles of democracy and good governance across the continent. Let us unite our efforts and collaboratively strive towards effecting positive change.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

As a co-founder of the "Africa Voices" initiative, my decision to seek membership within the esteemed Ana Lindh Foundation (ALF) Network is driven by the profound advantages it offers our project.

Foremost, ALF's expansive network and wealth of resources present unparalleled opportunities to fortify and sustain Africa Voices. Through affiliation with ALF, we gain access to invaluable expertise, extensive connections, and potential funding avenues, all of which are instrumental in enhancing the impact and longevity of our initiative.

Furthermore, ALF's widespread reach across Egypt and numerous African nations provides a formidable platform for amplifying the voices and narratives featured in Africa Voices. By collaborating with ALF, we can effectively disseminate our content to diverse audiences, ensuring widespread recognition and resonance of African stories.

Additionally, ALF's network serves as a fertile ground for identifying and nurturing talented journalists who share our vision for Africa Voices. Through engagement with ALF, we can recruit skilled professionals, provide them with opportunities for professional growth, and cultivate a community dedicated to impactful storytelling and advocacy.

Moreover, both Africa Voices and ALF are united in their commitment to advancing human rights, democracy, and social inclusion. By forging a partnership, we can magnify our collective advocacy efforts and work collaboratively towards fostering positive change across the African continent.

Lastly, ALF's expertise in evaluation and impact assessment is invaluable for Africa Voices. By leveraging ALF's methodologies and tools, we can rigorously measure the effectiveness of our initiative, ensuring that our endeavors yield tangible and meaningful outcomes for African communities.

In summary, seeking membership within the Ana Lindh Foundation Network aligns seamlessly with our mission and objectives for Africa Voices. Through strategic collaboration with ALF, we are poised to maximize our reach, empower journalists, champion human rights, and contribute significantly to the advancement of Africa's future.
